Clearly not on the owner's request as the car was resting on the brake discs.
My car hadn't been touched nor had any of the other G60's in the garage (interestingly there are quite a few). I just have the BMW stock rims. Nonetheless, this made me think about taking reasonable precautions to avoid a similar fate, for insurance purposes if nothing else. My car did come with locking wheel nuts, but is that considered sufficient in this day and age? What are you doing to de-risk having parts stolen off your car, provided a fully private garage or moving to a better neighborhood aren't viable options?

Thieves are for the most part lazy
I personally use a car cover with a lock
And yes wheel locks are never a bad thing
